hey guys, i recently installed TNT WM6.1 and the rom is just outstanding. I have only one problem and im sure that it is in no way the fault of the cooker. I am using an unlocked 8525 for tmobile and i cant get any picture messages. being that my gf is away for spring break, this is very important lol anyway to the best of what i can see the settings for mms are correct but still nothing. and the Send/Receive option is greyed out. I tried sending a pic message to my brother who is using a Wing also with 6.1 and he didnt recieve it either. any ideas? thanks in advance
The new TNT 6.1 ROM uses a newer version of arcsoft and apparently MMS don't work cause it didn't for me either.
Either install the clean version and use a different version of arcsoft or install another ROM. Oh and any pics you may have missed just may be gone since when I switched and now have working MMS none of the ones sent before came through.
I assume the network thought it already sent them.
is there any way to just install the old version of arcsoft without reflashing the rom?

All you can really do I suppose is try it I guess but I doubt it will work. I really didn't mess with it too much as I needed MMS to work and was having other issues as well..
You need to get your priorities straight bud your gf is on spring break and right now you can't receive pics!!!!!!! but hey I'm willing to help you out just have her send all the pics to my phone and I'll save them for you and when you do get MMS working then I'll send them to you
lol my hermes comes first, she knows that
Would recommend reflashing to get MMS working again. Think this a problem with a few WM6.1 ROM's so check threads for reoccurring problem's.
If your hermes comes first, get her to forward her photo's to me as my MMS works just fine!!!

I think it depends on the settings. I used to receive MMS in 6.1, but I think I used the arcsoft 4.0 version (not too sure.) Anyhow, check to see if the settings are right. I am using AT&T medianet to connect to MMS, and here is what worked!
Menu->Option->MMS->Servers->AT&T or Cingular MMS->Connect Via->The Internet
Last step is the key. Hope this helps!
I've searched for 8525 roms that have 6.1, and each one that I've tried cannot send SMS or MMS on AT&T's network. It is also impossible to set up their media server with these roms. Does anyone know of a 6.1 rom that I can flash that will retain full AT&T functionality? Thanks!

I have been searching for the same thing. I am able to send MMS but not receive it and when I hit the send/receive button in MMS I get an syncronization error. I have proxy set up and enabled as well as all Media Net settings for AT&T. For now I have been using wm6 by VP3G on my main 8525 Phone

I am a ATT user. The rom I am using is PDAVIET 19400 build. I also intalled arcsoft mms composer version 5-0-31-11 and i have not had any problems with MMS. For some reason, I cant upload cabs. Also my radio is ver. 1.54.31.10. I am in washington st. Hopefully this helps. Also seach for shogun_cing cab. Its the att settings i am using that worked for me..

Read post #168 in this thread. Install that program and you can use it to get your network settings for any rom.

Dr. Puttingham,
I'm using your 6.1 ROM with shogun_cing.cab, and I'm still unable to send or receive MMSs. I've adjusted all the server settings to AT&T's specs, but nothing is working. SMS works, and after I changed the keyboard layout, everything seems to be fine otherwise. Suggestions?

I've tried several of the 6.1 roms also. I really liked ShadoW's a lot. But I've had "some" difficulties with ATT related settings in them. Different things wouldn't work on different builds. MMS, SMS, even had a problem with MobiTV working at times.
I've went back to VP3G's last 6.0 build and everything works great. No problems at all with anything. I'll stay with his until someone can get a 6.1 ATT rom to be as stable and work as flawlessly as VP3G's 6.0.
I can send/receive SMS and MMS fine with Pays 3.00 ROM.

Have you tried to install a arcsoft cab? Also try giving ATT a call too and make sure its not something on thier side. Also take a look at your settings under mms menu/mms options/servers and click the server that is lighted and see if everything is correct.
Mine shows
Server name:
AT&T MMS
Gateway:
wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Server address:
http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via:
Media Net. Note this is a drop down panel with different options to use.
Send limit: 600K
Hope this helps..

he make a good point. last month ATT disabled my SMS MMS DATA capabilities without informing me. after i called they said i signed up for media net and they revised they billing policies and my phone make and model is restricted from the affordable media net packages and i must sign up for more expensive separate data and txt plans.
I've got the "incredibly awesome" plan that has unlimited messaging, data, etc. In fact, I just rick rolled some dude through a MMS on the 5th, so I know I have the capability. As for the server settings, that was the first thing I corrected. The first time I flashed Puttingham's rom, it didn't have the option of adding MEdia Net as a server, so I had to flash back to the stock WM6 rom. I haven't tried arcsoft yet, I'll give it a try today. With that said, the feature that I like most about 6.1 so far is the threaded SMS. If I can add that to my existing HTC WM6, that would be awesome. No, the Palm SMS doesn't work for me. If I can get the 6.1 threaded SMS without the rest of 6.1, I would be happy. Any ideas?
how is my att 8525 different then yours almost all roms run perfectly

So helpful, thank you.
I had this issue for a while too and fixed it by resetting up the MMS with arcsoft but I think you can also use a cingular config cab (which I now have on my storage card) but I did notice every now and then the MMS will stop working and I will have to reset it. Its a little annoying the first time you find out its not working but very easy to fix.
I'm unable to find Arcsoft. Every time I look for it, all I find are threads complaining about it. Regarding the cingular cab, if I give you my email, can you send it to me?

I can use MMS and SMS with Pays and Shogun_cing. Thanks for the heads up. If anything else pops up, I'll be sure to whine about it.
I do have one issue with every rom I've tried: The inability to manually set email specs. If I have gmail, it comes up as a POP3 account, when it should be an IMAP4 account, and the discrepancy causes issues with the email servers...
After many different roms and settings, I've found that all have at least one fatal flaw. One might not support MMS, another won't support Windows Mobile Device Center, another won't let me configure my email properly. Another, even though it has "big storage" will flash the "critically low memory" alert after I install one program. I'm back to my stock WM6 that is reliable. There are so many people that are so willing to make a rom that is flashy, fast, or have cool features, but I have yet to see a rom that does everything correctly. With that said, I had a lot of fun trying figure things out, and I appreciate all the hard work of those that put time and effort into cooking roms. I also appreciate all the helpful suggestions from everyone in this thread. Now I have a legitimate excuse to upgrade to the Tilt. Thanks!
I have been using Faria R-32.....all mms sms and internet and email work perfectly.

I agree with Ian. All the 6.1 roms are great! And the folks that cook them for us are awesome too! But I was finding the same thing. Each rom had a different problem for me. I think its a matter of preference. Just like everyone uses a different radio rom. I think your geographical location plays a big roll in how well a rom works for you. Just like radio roms operate differently throughout the country. I know that one radio rom doesn't work as well for me as it does for someone else in a different part of the country.
So you have to try it and just see how it works for you. It may work better for you then it did someone else. That's why I don't judge roms so harshly because although it didn't work that well for me it might be great for someone else or vise-versa.
I've checked just about everywhere and can't figure this out. I installed Ricky & Stylez Rose rom V1.7 and ever since i can receive T-mo MMS but can't send. Is there a fix for this? Other than that great rom.
Maybe try running the device configurator through T-Mobile?

or you could try running the device configurator?
as a last resort, have you tried running the device configurator?
Please post back with your results
how do i do that, sorry not too familiar with my gadget
I'm guessing you haven't done this since you don't know your device, go to Start Menu\Accessories\Connection Setup and choose the region and carrier you need.
MMS doesn't work straight away with any of the WM6.1 ROMs you have to set it up, also jdog has a link in sig with the settings.
yay! thanks!!! you people are awesome i don't know what i'd do without this site.
MMS
Thanks but i've tryed device configurator and i get the following : Error in the database. Any ideas. Also tryed t-mo configurator and that's how i finally got mms to receive. Last thing that i tryed was T-mobile USA MMS settings cab. Am i missing something or just stupid?

i always get error syncing
i've tried device config and the htc wiki excalibur 5.99 tzones mms setup and still error syncing
helP~!
you will always get a error while syncing, it never works. But once you have configured to your provider, it should receive and send just fine. Testing it is just a matter of sending one and asking someone to send you one. If you play your cards right, you may be able to get a "naughty" pic out of the deal
I'm experience little annoyance with it too.
I run connection setup and set it t-mobile, and i send my self a text with image I get notice about it but never get the damn picture or just queue there never downloads it.
that happened to me once all i did was under MMS go to tools then options, then go down to account settings, click menu, go to MMSC settings and make sure T-mobile MMS is checked.

yes indeed it does do that but with the right configuration it works well i personally downgraded to 1.4 which is best since it doesn't drop my calls every 45 scs or 1min45 secs or have people call me and reach my voicemail when my phone does't even ring or just doesn't allow me to call like i don't have network. it's just faultless
I have been searching the forum looking for an answer to mms issue. i found post relating to MMS issue with Rose rom 1.7
but never found a 100% solution.
I like rose rom and is clean and light but only annoyance is I am not getting my
MMS I was using Kavana rom and i was getting MMS fine.
What the problem with Rose Rom getting the MMS?
I have use connection setup to set it up to Tmobile USA...
thank u for your time.
i am getting a problem with MMS too, everytime i am sent an MMS i get to a download screeen but nothing happens.
mine just takaes awhile to get i'm using kavana's rom but i sure do get it..maybe you just need to take a couple hours out of your day and change roms.it doesn't take that long the only thing that takes long is reloading the apps back on your phone if you don't have a backup program like sprite or something.
well i went rose 1.4.1 and my mms working fine.
so i guess is the remade 1.7
i never got mms to work on the rose rom 1.7 remade by stylez & ricky
really frustrating since mms is included in my plan as unlimited
I only get 1 out of 10 MMS's recieved to my phone, and sending is totally out of the question. I found a way around it.
The fix:
Have the sender send to an email account on your phone from their phone. Tell them just to send the pic to your email instead of phone number from now on. Some better phones allow you to send a pic to an email address.
You will get an email from a sender like [email protected] or [email protected] (I forgot the actual addresses).
Save it to your contacts, you can send a MMS to this address.

No problem Stylez! I was going to wait on a reply until at least someone confirmed, but since no one did I hope that the silence means it worked. If not, somebody please reply (or reply if it did, too!).

still get "error syncronizing" ...oh well I musta tried every thread on here to set up MMS. Ill keep tinkering with the settings, who knows something should work.
Yeah, I still get the 'error syncronizing' too when I hit the send/receive button, but it doesn't prevent me from sending and receiving MMS's. Not really sure if the send/receive button is really necessary anyway since MMS's are 'push' (for lack of a better term). To support that theory, if you go into SMS you will notice that send/receive is grayed out because it is not used. What is important is can you send and receive MMS's as they come now? I haven't missed one yet since the fix.

Yes correct send recieve will throw an error but un needed just like you stated so no bigee
I searched all around and couldnt find an answer to the issue. Basical i cooked my dash to the WONDERFUL 3vo rom by OOKBa and i noticed that when i receive MMS it is being re sized in transmission.
Now i know that T-MO shrinks messages when delivered to unlocked phones but this its a Locked Dash. Not sure why its shrinking mms.
This wasnt an issue in the 6.1 roms everything came through just fine.
Does any one have a clue on how to fix it?

Did you try checking in settings > more > mms settings at the bottom the option of photo resolution? I have mine on original resolution. If that is changed it would resize to whatever size is checked. I think mine was different when I went through after flashing. If that doesn't work do a search for t mo mms settings. I had to re input ALL of my settings after flashing to 6.5. For some reason t mo would not set mms automatically. Thats all I can think of. Wish I could help more.
Thanks for your reply, I actually did receive them they just get shrunk in translation. Its weird but i know T-Mo does that idk. maybe its a registry thing or something. idk
